SOF® Tactical Tourniquet Wide

Description

We're all about strapping on a good blaster, a reload or two, and carrying stabby stuff, but the reality is that some basic medical kit is pretty damn important. A quality tourniquet is the most compact and effective hemorrhage control tool you can employ. The SOF®TT-W is compact, effective, and tested.

Tools that make people leak are only part of the solution, and that's why we recommend the SOF®TT-W; we really don't want you leaking all over the place. After all, that's how you get ants.

From the Manufacturer:

The SOF® Tactical Tourniquet-Wide (SOF®TT-W) is the result of an exhaustive 24-month research initiative compiling end-user research and laboratory studies to develop a more effective, easier-to-use tourniquet for all environments. High-strength, light-weight alloy components are used in critical areas of function ensuring reliability in the most challenging of circumstances and on the largest of limbs. This was all accomplished while reducing the weight by approximately 15%.

The high-strength hook and buckle interface was designed for security, strength, and ease of application. The design allows for rapid routing of the tourniquet strap while eliminating need for re-threading the webbing through a buckle. By eliminating the requirement to re-route the webbing the tourniquet is easier to use when operating under stress and reduces application time, both of which can result in reduced levels of blood loss and better quality patient care.

The SOF®TT-W also has a true 1 ½” tourniquet strap providing a wider compression pattern than most standard tourniquets, or tourniquets with a 1” constricting band moving through a 1 ½” sleeve. This broader compression pattern allows for increased patient comfort and additional arterial compression.

The tourniquet handle is machined from a single piece of high strength aluminum bar stock. The strength of the handle virtually eliminates the risk of product failure. It is then anodized to minimize the products signature in a tactical environment.

Each tourniquet ships with two UV resistant black rubber bands for mounting to your individual equipment.

Features include:

A true 1 ½” constricting band for increased constricting pressure and patient comfort.
